This is a great place for some fantastic Filipino food at reasonable prices. Atmosphere is similar to a “hole-in-the-wall” place. Fast, friendly, and delicious. They also updated their schedule to be open Tuesdays as well.

Great food and excellent service. The owner was super nice, and told us all about the food before ordering to make sure we got something we’d like. It was the first time my wife and I had tried Filipino food and everything we tasted was great. I will definitely be going back!

I was in the mood for some Filipino food so I did a Google search and this is where I ended up. The place was empty when I went in. But I was greeted very warmly by what I found out shortly after was one of the owners. All I knew was that I wanted lumpia. She suggested I get the Lumpia with Pancit Bihon special (everything was made fresh). As she was cooking my lumpia, a couple entered into the restaurant. She greeted them warmly, as well. My lunch was served shortly and we all begin chatting about the Phillipines, where the owner was born. To my surprise and delight, I found out that one of the other patron's mother was also from the Philippines and she bragged that the food here tasted like her mother's. I got a brief, but awesome run down of Philippian culture, food and history. As I prepared to leave, the owner gave me a small bag of calmansi limes that she grew at home. I couldn't have stumbled on a better gem.... I shall return.

We are in town visiting from the PNW and had a craving for Filipino food. My grandmother is from the Philippines so all of this was a staple in our household growing up. Let me tell you, there are not a lot of good Filipino restaurants and this is by far the best. As close as you can get to my grandmothers food. Rose is such a sweet lady and hospitable. We have been in town a little over a week and have gone twice! This place is a hidden gem in the great city of Savannah. Definitely recommend 10/10!

This is our 2nd time here. Been a few years but when we're in Savannah we like to come to this spot for filipine cuisine. We ordered takeout to bring home to our family. The lady was very nice and took care of us. Made sure we got what we ordered and even gave us something to take home to my mom. And some free juice drinks. We will be back when we visit Savannah again.

Very nice owner. He worked alone due to his wife being out sick. He was able to control the lunch crowd alone and take orders, cook, and take payments very fast. This is my first time eating here and eating at an all Filipino restaurant. I had a great experience and will return very soon. The food was excellent and everyone in the restaurant seemed pleased. The only downfall to this place is that the parking sucks in the shopping plaza.

The owner is very nice and the food is consistently good. No one will leave hungry with their portion sizes.

Pork adobo was amazing. For gluten sensitive people the pancit noodles are rice noodles and were awesome too!
